On April 10, Xinjiang Xuan Dong Energy Co., Ltd. held the third construction coordination meeting for this project, as well as an inauguration ceremony to mark the start of a 100-day intensive work period. Recently, the construction of the main structure of the coal coking system’s crushing station, the purification system, as well as the custom-made equipment for the coal tar-ammonia water separation area and the coal tar intermediate tank area in the first phase of Xinjiang Xuan Dong Energy Co., Ltd.’s 10-million-ton/year project for the clean and efficient utilization of coal on a differentiated basis – a project that was undertaken under EPC contract by Lanzhou Lanshi Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Lanshi Heavy Equipment”) – was completed, along with the installation of the moving equipment in the purification system and the construction of the underground pipelines and power distribution rooms ； For the 500,000 tons/year hazardous waste coal tar upgrading project, the civil works, steel structure, installation of key equipment and some process pipelines for the coal tar hydrogenation unit have been completed. The substation is ready to receive power, and the externally sourced equipment and materials meet the actual requirements on site. Currently, pipeline welding, electrical and instrumentation installation, and the supply of remaining equipment are in progress. Xinjiang Xuan Dong Energy Co., Ltd. has developed a comprehensive and efficient circular utilization industry chain for coal, electricity, oil, gas, chemicals, and materials. The total investment in this project, which aims for the clean and efficient utilization of 10 million tons of coal per year, amounts to 15 billion yuan. The production facilities include units for the graded and differentiated utilization of 10 million tons of coal per year, plants for the upgrading of 500,000 tons of hazardous coal tar per year, units for producing hydrogen through pressurized gasification of pulverized coal at a rate of 100,000 cubic meters per hour, 4x50 megawatt power generation projects utilizing waste gases, a facility for the deep processing of 350,000 tons of light coal tar, as well as various auxiliary facilities. The construction of this project will actively promote the development of coal and coalbed methane resources in Yiwu County, and help establish a comprehensive and efficient circular utilization industry chain for coal, electricity, oil, gas, chemicals, and materials, thereby contributing effectively to the development of the Hami energy base. Leveraging the coal resources of Naomaohu Lake, this project utilizes low- and medium-temperature pyrolysis of coal, along with proprietary technologies for the pretreatment of coal tar, phenol removal and refinement from coal tar, as well as hydrogenation of all fractions of coal tar to improve their quality. These methods are used to produce clean, high-quality fuels and fine chemicals, thereby creating a clean, environmentally friendly circular economy industry chain that enables the clean, efficient, and differentiated utilization of coal. The annual production capacity of 10 million tons of coal for clean and efficient utilization through classification and quality differentiation at Xinjiang Xuan Dong Energy Co., Ltd. relies on coal as a medium; through the processes within this industrial chain, not only is efficient use of coal resources achieved, but green development with zero emissions is also realized. From the design phase, the project took into full account factors related to cleanliness, environmental protection, and efficient utilization; the waste gas from the project is used for power generation, and the wastewater generated by the pyrolysis units and hydrogen production units is treated to achieve zero emissions. The Xinjiang Xuan Dong Energy Co., Ltd. project for the clean and efficient utilization of coal on a large scale, with an annual production capacity of 10 million tons, is scheduled to be fully completed by 2025, enabling closed-loop operation. By then, it will be able to produce various coal chemical products, including 3.186 million tons of high-quality coal, 1.9464 million tons of shaped coke, and 1.0444 million tons of coal tar. It is possible to achieve annual sales revenue of 15 billion yuan, an average annual net profit of around 3.5 billion yuan, and an average annual tax payment of 2 billion yuan. This will promote the development of various industries and create 2,500 jobs.
